Glenfiddich, the award-winning single malt Scotch whisky, announces the launch of Grande Couronne, the newest addition to its opulent Grand Series. Grande Couronne is a 26 year old whisky, matured in American and European oak casks at the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland, before the crowning glory – an extended finish of up to two years in meticulously sourced French Cognac casks. As Glenfiddich continues to challenge the conventions of whisky, Grande Couronne unexpectedly marries two luxury worlds with its unique maturation and finishing. 
French for “Great Crown,” Grande Corounne joins Glenfiddich’s Grand Series, a beautiful series of single malts that is designed to elevate occasions and celebratory moments in a whole new way. The Grand Series also includes Glenfiddich Grand Cru, aged for 23 years in American and European Oak casks and then finessed in French cuvée oak casks, and Glenfiddich Gran Reserva, patiently mellowed for 21 years in bourbon casks before a final flourish in Caribbean rum casks.
“The Grand Series perfectly encapsulates Glenfiddich’s spirit of innovation and our ability to experiment with aged liquid and intriguing finishes. Grande Couronne is the latest to exemplify that approach,” says Glenfiddich Malt Master, Brian Kinsman. “It is the only Glenfiddich single malt that has matured in American and European oak casks and finished in rare French Cognac casks. The length of the finish, two years, is highly unusual and adds extra layers of sweet toasted oak and velvety aromas of café crème, brown sugar and soft spice.”
Grande Couronne is presented in an opulent glass bottle wrapped in a filigree gold print. The bottle is placed in an artistically embossed box with a scene reminiscent of the spirit of the French court and vibrancy of the taste found within.
“Grande Couronne is created with opulence in mind at every step, from its conception to bottling,” says Michael Giardina, Brand Director, Glenfiddich. “With this single malt, we are sharing something perfectly decadent and worthy of indulgence when celebrating life’s extraordinary moments.”
Grande Couronne is now available nationwide at a suggested retail price of $600.
